## Summary

Mid Devon District Council procured a data security platform together with consultancy services. The requirement centres on security software and supporting advice, rather than general IT services. The work is for the council in Tiverton, Devon, with delivery identified in England. This combination may suit providers able to supply and support data security technology, or technology firms working with consultancy partners. The selected supplier, Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, is a large IT supplier, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an established provider. The procurement is categorised as services, although the platform itself is a software package. The stated purpose is data security; no more specific technical scope or use case is described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd by direct award. The award date was 31 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £92,400. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The original tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 16:30. The requirement was not divided into lots. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria or explain the basis for selecting the supplier. The contract covers a data security platform and consultancy, with the award made to one supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid Devon District Council for a data security platform backed by consultancy, delivered as a defined service rather than a standalone software purchase. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to show that it can provide suitable data security software and the expertise to advise on its deployment or use. The contract was awarded directly to a large supplier, so competitors should be prepared to demonstrate an established ability to deliver the combined technology and consultancy requirement at council level. The council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller organisations were considered relevant too. A specialist software provider may therefore be well placed if it can also evidence the required consultancy capability, directly or through a partner.
